| Car Rental |
| |
 | When someone rents a car,
the automobile rental companies hold the renter accountable
under the rental agreement for damage to their car. They offer
a Damage Waiver at an extra cost. This Damage Waiver is not
insurance, but a contractual agreement between the renter and
rental company. If a waiver is not purchased, it is important
to review your own automobile policy to determine if any extension
of coverage applies. Also, establish how the liability coverage
afforded by your policy applies in the event you are at fault
in an accident with the rented vehicle. In California, you are
required to have auto insurance regardless of whether you are
driving your own car or if you are renting one.

Rental car agencies
do provide wide range of auto insurance coverage and it would
not be prudent to blindly select rental car insurance as every
policy offers its individual advantages under particular situations.
You should examine each policy so offered and judge it against
the requirements you have. It would be prudent to discuss the
policy with the car rental agent, rather than just read the
summary over the website.
Car rental companies often use promotions and discount codes
to drive business. These discounts have created their own subculture
on the Internet. Many travel sites openly discuss and share
discount codes with other travelers in the hopes of making the
travel experience more affordable to all.
Car rental companies sometimes offer coupon savings or promotional
discounts. These discounts have not only increased volume for
the business, but created a unique Internet subculture, consisting
of many travel websites. Here, discount codes are exchanged
and promotional rates discussed, so the traveler can find the
best deal on car rentals at that point in time. |
